All right, we're going to come out to the plug and play connect portal.
And what we want to do again is to create a set of identities that we can use
for our
routers.
And then we're also going to take that white list and apply it into SD WAN
manager.
So let's start with generating those identities.
We're going to start here with plug and play connect.
Again, if you've been going through this course sequentially, we should have a
controller
profile.
Mine is called CBT lab.
There's might be something else, but it's a controller type V bond.
And we used this to generate certificates that we could then deploy based on
the root
certificate that we also uploaded here and provided.
So that was all part of the process up until now.
Now it's time to add our edge devices.
We're going to come over to devices here.
And importantly, this is where we would expect to see a list of physical
devices that maybe
we've purchased from Cisco.
If we need to add our own devices, we have the capability, but do notice that
this button
right here is adding software devices.
So this is exactly what we're going to do.
We're going to click on this and we want to add software or add a software
device.
So I'm going to go ahead and click this and the base product identifier here.
What are we going to add?
Well, first of all, be aware that there is this V edge option, V edge dash
cloud dash
DNA.
This was the original virtual V edge.
So when we if we wanted to play an actual V edge to the environment, which CML
by the
way allows us to do, then we can use this.
But we're talking about deploying a Viptela virtual device running Viptela code
, which
yes, Cisco updated for a while, but for the most part, we're probably going to
want to
deploy one of those 8000 V's.
So instead, we're not going to type the edge here.
We're going to type C 8000 V.
And that'll pop up here.
I can select it.
And this is the fun part about software.
I can just create as many of these as I want.
Now in our lab environment, we only need four.
You could certainly create more here if you desire, but we can always just come
back and
create more as well if we need to.
So I'm just going to create the minimum amount that we need, which is four,
select my controller
profile here.
And then we have to decide is this device in autonomous mode or controller mode
, we're
going to pick controller mode.
So I'm going to click save.
And now we have to finish out this process.
So I'm going to click next here.
And this is just the review page.
So we're going to say submit.
And now we have our devices showing up.
So I again, I created four devices and notice under serial number here, this is
that unique
identifier, universally unique identifier, the UU ID takes the place of the
serial number
or in effect, it is the serial number, but now Cisco has basically said, Hey,
this is
an official serial number that you can now use in your virtual environment
because as
a virtual device, it doesn't come with one.
So we're going to provide it with this one.
So that's a great start, but we also need that whitelist.
So keep in mind, we have to individually approve these devices being added into
the SDWAN environment.
Otherwise, they're not going to be allowed to join, even if they do have an
official
serial number or official UUID.
So now what we're going to do is we're going to click over to controller
profiles.
And notice we have this download option now, we didn't used to have that.
So now I can click provisioning file.
And from here, we're going to select eight dot or 18 dot three and newer
because we're
using 20 dot X, at least in this version of CML.
And I'm going to download it.
All right, now that we've downloaded the whitelist, we can apply it into our SD
WAN manager.
What we want to do that here is by going to configuration devices, WAN edges.
So we shouldn't see anything in here yet.
And what we can do is we can upload this WAN edge list.
This is where we can automatically sync if we want to, we can log into our
smart account
and allow it to dynamically sync as we add devices, or we can upload the file
that we
just download and so that's exactly what we're going to do.
I'm going to drag this in here.
And what we'll find here actually, and first of all, is that the file type is
serial file
dot Viptela.
Notice that this is just a serial type of file that I'm going to, well, it's
right there,
serial file, but it's not something that I can edit.
It's truly just a bunch of data coming from the Cisco cloud that the manager
knows how
to interpret.
If I wanted to do things a little bit more manually, then I could use the
sample CSV,
use a CSV type of CSV type of format, and that'll allow me to upload my own
list of
devices via CSV.
So from here, I can click next.
It's going to synchronize and allow me to decide which ones to apply.
Now, what we're going to find here is I actually have quite a few devices in my
inventory.
Ideally, you only have the four that you, that we just created, but let's go
ahead.
On my end, I need to make sure that I'm selecting the correct one.
So we've got nine different 8,000 V's selected here or possible.
I had created five earlier and the four.
I just need to make sure.
So if I go to devices now and I don't filter by date, I should see, well,
actually, while
we really need our V's.
So I'm going to make sure that I've got 9541.
That's what it ends with.
Yeah.
Okay.
So it's the bottom four probably.
So 96 E zero.
Yep, 96 E zero.
And then we've got EFC six C and ends with one seven.
So six C and one seven.
Yep, six C and one seven.
Okay.
So it's the bottom four.
So I'm just going to check these again on your end.
You probably only see the four that you created, but if you did have a whole
bunch more that
you've flapped up before, then just got to make sure that we've got the right
numbers.
So I'm going to say next here.
And now this is interesting.
Now the resolution isn't very friendly for this here, but what we need to do is
we need
to assign system IPs to these devices.
So to be very careful here about which one of these devices is going to be
which device
in our CML environment.
So I can double click on this and I can get editable entries.
So the host name being auto, I can allow it to be auto.
And it's going to create a pretty ugly type of host name.
So I'm going to call this edge 11.
And we'll say 95 41 is edge 11.
And we'll just need to make sure we get the right ones later.
The system IP is not a routable IP address.
I'm just going to use all 11 here.
And then again, the resolution is not super friendly here.
So I'm going to go ahead and modify my browser here.
Let's just scroll it out a little bit.
And then make it so we can see this better.
All right.
So the site, we can select a site ID.
I've got a few in here that I've already configured like site 11, for example.
And then we've still got more the, oh, yeah, just whether we're using dual
stack IPV6.
So drag that over and show that we're not using that.
Okay.
So that's edge 11.
Now we just need to do the rest.
So if you're following along here, you're going to want to make the same
changes as me
because we're going to call these as we mentioned in the topology earlier 11 12
13 and 14.
So let's see here site.
We have a site where the resolution really is getting a little bit messed up.
All right.
There we go.
Site 12 double click this one edge 13 13 13 13 13.
And then I'm probably going to need to create a new one for this.
So if we haven't created sites, this is what it looks like can create all of
the information
about the site naturally, this is a lab site.
So I'm just going to call it site 13 here with a site ID of 13 optional, but we
'll include
it.
And then we'll select it from the list.
It was right there on top.
All right.
Lastly, we're going to do this as well for 14.
And then 14 14 14 14 14 14.
And then we'll have to create a site here as well.
So you probably had to create all of your sites.
It's perfectly fine.
Create a site ID of 14 there.
And then we've got to remember to select it from the list.
So this is what it should look like before we're ready to move on.
We should have full entries here for the host name, the system IP address, the
site should
be selected.
And then we're not using IP version six, so we don't need to worry too much
about that.
So from here, we should be able to click.
Oh, let's apply it.
There we go.
So once we're applied, let me go ahead and shrink my resolution back to the way
it was,
bring this all the way in here.
There we go.
All right.
And we're still not quite there.
So there we go.
Now we can see the whole thing.
So I'm going to click next.
And then let's see here.
So we can add tags if we're using tags.
That's just an organizational concept.
It does say it's optional over here on the left.
We're just going to say next again, see the summary should be good.
And we're going to click on board.
So we have finally created the whitelist for all of our devices.
Now manager is aware of those devices.
So let me go and fix my resolution one more time because it wasn't quite all
the way back
on screen.
And so we should now be able to see the options on the left there.
And so we need to push this list to the controller.
So we're not quite yet done with this process.
It looks like we're good.
It says congratulations.
That's usually what we want to see, but we're going to have to go to
configuration and then
down to certificates and look at the WAN edges.
And now this is where we see all of these different devices.
What we're going to do is say send to controllers and say confirm again, your
list will be a
whole lot cleaner than my list, but that send to controllers link is very
important because
we're pushing the V edge list or that whitelist out to the validator and for
that matter to
the controller and internally to the manager, which is itself.
And now when I go back and look at the whoops, not there, but when I look at
the certificates
or WAN edges, we are going to see that this link is blue.
If it's red, that means that it has an update to push.
The fact that it's blue means that there is nothing to push.
So that's where we want to, uh, there's where we want to be.
So again, I'll clean up my list on my end just to get rid of all these extra
devices,
but on your side, you probably are seeing the four eight thousand V's and we
should be
ready to now go into CML and start to perform our configuration.
